Red page on regional font alternatives, showing Chinese typeface specimens at three weights beside spec copy.

Summary

A regional-alternatives page: when Flame does not support a market's language, an approved substitute is shown, here a Chinese typeface in three weights with large specimen text.

Visual description

Red ground, cream type, three columns. The left column carries "Regional Font Alternatives" and a paragraph instructing teams whose language is not supported by Flame to source an approved alternative in a similar style, with a "Example: Chinese Typeface" note. The middle column labels three roles and names the chosen faces in Latin transliteration ("Headlines / Fang Zheng Pang Wa Jian Ti", "Subheads / Fang Zheng Cu Yuan Song Jian Ti", "Body Copy / Fang Zheng Lan Ting Yuan Jian Ti Zhong"). The right column is a large Chinese specimen: a heavy display line, a medium subhead line, and a body line, mirroring the Latin specimen layout from earlier pages. Legal footnote and page number "070" sit at the bottom.

Key takeaway

Treating localization as a first-class part of the type spec: the same three-role layout is reused for a non-Latin script, so the family's logic carries across markets. Showing transliterated names plus actual glyphs makes the substitution unambiguous for local teams.

Reuse notes

Essential reference for any global brand that needs script coverage beyond its bespoke Latin face. Reuse the explain/name/specimen columns per supported script. Include the approval and legal note, since regional substitutions usually need sign-off.
